Sojourner Truth Parsons The woman of my dreams I, 2025
Acrylic on canvas
45,7 x 30,5 cm
Rendered in a blueish palette, the painting adopts a visual language of stillness: a steady candle beneath three flowers in full bloom, held by a gently skewed vase. Squared, flattened, yet densely saturated, these objects reflect the artist's concern with edges–where and how things meet, merge or coalesce: “a color next to a texture next to a flatness,” as she put it. Painted in thin, flat layers, the work appears in a slow pace, redolent of eyes adjusting to the pitch of night.
